Noam Chomsky is spinning in his grave right now.
Is this a joke?!
he's still alive.
Yes it's a joke.
Chomsky took a lot of heat for defending a Holocaust denier's freedom of speech. AboveLegit disgraces his legacy by suggesting the expectation of a violent reprisal for unpopular opinions is acceptable in a civilized country. He's suggesting the gentleman in question should not have done what he did for fear of retaliation. That's a TRAVESTY.
Settle down. At no point did I suggest that violence is acceptable in response to unpopular opinions. I simply implied that IF he didn't think the group would have an outraged reaction, he is a fool. Besides, he didn't have an opinion at all, he simply was there to incite and offend. Professor Chomsky criticized a very similar incident, where Danish newspapers thought it would be a good idea to draw distasteful cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, and thereupon received an incensed reaction.
